No one really talks about this part, but it might be one of the realest moments of the whole day.
Right before everything starts, it gets a little quiet. A little emotional. A little “okay… this is actually happening.”
Maybe it’s a hug. Maybe it’s a few quick words. Maybe it’s just someone standing next to him while he takes a second to take it all in.
And then he’s the one who walks out first.
It’s not a big dramatic moment. It’s just… him. Taking those steps and feeling it all hit at once. Then standing there, waiting.
And here, it feels different. There’s something about the space, the openness, the way everything slows down for a second.
It gives that moment room to breathe. Like he actually gets to be in it, instead of rushing through it.
You can feel it. That quiet, steady anticipation right before everything changes.
It’s small, but it’s one of those moments you don’t forget.
